http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/7540427.stm I find this interesting, and there is no explaination on how orbits happen, No explainationas to how i think it was Galileo found the circumference of the earth using sticks and the sun so accurately. How can anyone believe this is modern day terms. Explain how we have a constant distance in the oceans that things disappear due to the curvature of the earth. Surely with this theory it would be impossible to fly over the south pole?
Hey, some people still believe the moon landings were fake, and that diseases are a part of a vast government conspiracy. Humans are dumb, and we'll believe just about anything. Why do you think marketing can be such a lucrative profession? -monkey
Agree'd there's plenty of evidence the world is Eliptical. It bulges slightly at the equator due to it's rotation
There are far more ridiculous beliefs (e.g. homeopathic "medicine") that are popularly accepted. I think supermonkey put it best:
They could try telling the crew of Apollo 1 that they gave their lives for a 'fake' moon landing. Most beliefs are shaped by the views of others or the unwillingness to admit that they're wrong. Essentially water, but the belief that it will make you better causes a placebo effect: "According to homeopaths, serial dilution, with shaking between each dilution, removes the toxic effects of the remedy while the qualities of the substance are retained by the diluent (water, sugar, or alcohol). The end product is often so diluted that it is indistinguishable from pure water, sugar or alcohol."
Yep. It's called an oblate spheroid. I always thought that was a cool word. Mathematical nasty but cool word John
I'm signing up for the exploratory voyage to the magnetic north pole to find the opening. http://www.ourhollowearth.com/VoyagetoHollowEarth.htm
Can't we just put them on some U2s, SR71s and Mig25s? Fly them really high up... then chuck them out.
Sorry. All this talk of hurricanes has numbed my brain; I think I missed the irony. Care to lend me a hand? -monkey
Hahaha, that's absolutely fantastic. I hope they go. I hope they get all the way to the North Siberian Islands and find absolutely sod-all which hasn't already been documented. Either that, or they'll be laughed into submission by the owners of that nuclear-powered icebreaker.
